I started my tank off around 10 months ago with around 30 lbs of Marco Rock and 10 lbs. of real ocean live rock. I haven't had very much coralline algae growth in my tank despite stable parameters. I have a theory that UV sterilizers slow the process down but either way I'm getting sick of the stark white rock so I ordered 20 lbs of Tropic Eden Morroca Irregular Rock and 1 XL Cocoworm Tube f/ premium aquatics to get my tank looking a little more established. As far as I can tell, Premium Aquatics has an exclusive on this product.
I received 18.6 lbs (according to my scale) and they included a free small cocoworm tube in addition to the XL one I paid for it (presumably to make up the weight of the box).
I hadn't seen many reviews of this rock, but I am really impressed with it. I think it's going to look great in the tank and the textures and colors are very nice. Overall, I had very little breakage and Premium Aquatics must have used 200 feet of bubble wrap, plastic wrap and brown packing paper to make sure it arrived safely (seriously-it was packaged VERY WELL). Even the small part that broke off has decent coloration under the crack and doesn't stick out very much.
Before I put the rock into my scape and swap some of the Marco rock, I thought I would get some pictures with dimensions for anyone else considering this rock. All of these rocks are in the 2.5-5.3 lbs. range and they are all about 6-8 inches tall.
It's definitely expensive for non-live rock, but I think out of all the dry, dyed rock I've seen this stuff has the coolest texture and coloration. I will definitely order more in the future if ever get a bigger tank. Hope this helps any of you considering dry rock. I think this will make an excellent addition to a smaller order of live rock that can be difficult to come by these days.
